Gary, I just want to let Evie know what a wonderful writing she contributed to our Dunseith Blog. The spirit of her message is uplifting and inspiring in every way that an American would be proud of. What resounding phrases from a young woman in our midst, whose relatives have been acquaintances of me and my family since early in the 1900s. I am proud to be associated with such an articulate Dunseith woman. The fact it was written in 1965, while I was raiding North Vietnam in F-105 aircraft makes it more poignant to me. So many of those I flew with were shot down and imprisoned until 1973, or did not survive at all, gives me pause and makes me give a silent tribute to them, and to give my heartfelt congratulations and gratitude to Evie for reminding me of my country’s strengths and of my friends who did not survive to pursue and enjoy what she was writing about. Thank you, Evie, and thank you, Gary. Bill Hosmer
